ALL ABOARD this magical event will be held at the Greenbush Commuter Rail Station with four trains departing at 9:45am, 12:30pm, 2:40pm or 4:40pm. There is a choice for a car on the 12:30 train for families of children with special needs with the same exact experience and activities as every other car but within a relaxed and accepting setting if that is what you prefer.

sing Christmas carols, receive the first gift of Christmas and be greeted by holiday characters
including Santa and Mrs. Claus.Proceeds from this event go to these two worthy non-profits, CORSE and
SHORE. Tickets and sponsorships can be purchased online on our website. <<

I'm glad to see some reporting on the biological effects on individuals especially students in school. There is substantial evidence of serious harm from radiation emanating from routers and other devices; business appears only interested in marketing these devices for schools but has been negligent as far as safety or even educational value.
Currently, there is a ballot initiative (current petition 15-33) to create an expert commission to evaluate and address health and safety risks--this needs support to move forward (see www.meetup.com/healove). The site had additional materials available to help address the issue.

Thank you, Mr. Spero and Ms. Rees for this article! Ashland Public Schools has adopted Best Practices for Mobile Devices to start putting distance between students/staff and the devices/routers/access points in our schools. Senator Karen Spilka has introduced MA S.1222: An Act creating a special commission to study the health impacts of electromagnetic fields. While it may take a while for an outcome from the State, there is much you can do to keep your loved ones safe right now as Ms. Rees explains. I have taken those precautions myself in our home to limit radiation exposure. Those wishing to know more are welcome to look at the in-depth research I've gathered: https://sites.google.com/site/understandingemfs/home. Thank you!
